There are many ways to injure your back or neck. Vehicle accidents and falls are two of the most common causes of these injuries. Both collisions and falls are frequently caused by the negligence or act of another person, company or agency. Whether you are suffering from herniated discs, bulging discs, slipped discs or a vertebrae bone fracture, Jeremiah A. Denton III, P.C. will help you get justice and the money you need to pay your medical costs. Our legal team represents clients in Virginia Beach and throughout the state.
Depending on the type of accident you have been involved in, the process of seeking a legal remedy may differ. The first thing you should do is the same regardless of what type of incident caused your injury. If you have been in a collision or a fall, it is essential that you seek medical attention right away, even if you don’t feel any symptoms immediately. Many injuries don’t become painful for a few days. Having a doctor examine you and document your injuries is also a crucial part of preserving your claim and proving your injuries were caused by the accident.
If you were in a car accident, your Virginia Beach personal injury lawyer will work to help you make a claim with the other driver’s insurance company. If they do not cooperate, or if that person is uninsured, you can bring a lawsuit. If you slipped, tripped or fell on someone else’s property, our attorneys will help you bring a suit against the property owner or manager.
Victims of neck and spine injuries often require months or years of treatment. They may need surgery, physical therapy or extended time off from work. Some will need home healthcare assistance. Because every lawsuit is different, no one can tell you ahead of time exactly how much your claim will be worth. Our legal team will fight aggressively to get you the money you need to compensate you for your medical bills and lost wages. We will also pursue damages for your pain and suffering, and for the loss of enjoyment of life due to your injuries.
You only have two years from the date of your injury to file a spine injury lawsuit in Virginia. It is essential that you speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible to start the process of gathering evidence and preparing your claim.
